As of now, I have devoted a lot of time to playing super smash bros. I am doing pretty good at it to. I can handle level 9 computers now, it is a little challenging, but with Ike, I am pretty good at handing out kos.

I play this game every other weekend when I can and it is a lot of fun. I played it at a friend's house before and I was okay, but now I am really good at it. So this is the most recent game I have devoted a lot of my time to becoming better at.

Soon though, it might be x and y I dedicate some attention to...I am getting them tomorrow....

When it comes to playtime, it's easily Final Fantasy X. (4000+ hours, I think?) I've played it ever since it was released and I still play it on occasion. I'm waiting for the HD remake on PS3, which I've been highly anticipating since the announcement. I'm probably going to sink another few hundred hours into the HD remake.

Well a few years ago I absolutely loved pokemon, I mean really loved it! Now my feelings are neutral for the games but only 3 or 4 years ago I was non-stop playing pokemon. The one I spent the most time on was Pokemon Emerald, which was also my first Pokemon game and game I fully owned rather than my dad buying it and then he having restriction to when I should play it and not. I was up most nights for hours playing Emerald and I spent hours playing it in the day as well, damn that game was fun back then. I deleted the game file recently but I remember seeing the play time on the previous file being above 260, I think it was 263. Before I deleted it, I went on the profile only to find I had a team of 4 Level 100 pokemon including Rayquaza and Groudon, I think my starter was one and a mightyena may of been the other one. I was in the battle frontier and I had gold on all building. Lastly I went to a PC and saw I had caught most of the legendaries which were all of them you could catch in a single game file, though I had both lati from a pokemon ruby game.

Any new game that I get interested in I spend so much time on. But I stop playing them after that if you cannot do anything after that, if you can then I stop playing 1.5 months after completing. The only exception is Pokemon. I never really stop, only slow down and that's 3-6 months after completing. I've got 999:99 playtime on Soulsilver and White 2. I bet you I'll get 999:99 on X too. I need to spend my spare time better...

Right now, it is Pokemon X. I have only played 7 hours total, while I heard of some people playing well over 100 hours, but 7 is a lot for me because I have more school work now, and I have to dedicate my time to Vizzed.

Definitely Starcraft:Brood War, it was the first game i ever played and i still play it.

That is such a good question.

I'm not sure. Maybe one of those old sim games. I spent a lot of time in sim city 2000 as a kid.

Super Mario Bros. 3 would also be up there. Flight Simulator 95, anyone remember that one?

More recently, I've suck a couple hundred hours into Skyrim, so that would be the top time waster in the past... probably 7 years or so.

If you talk about a retro game, I would say Double Dragon III The Rosseta Stones

But if you talk about a video game in general, well, I would say Rush Team.

Again, a very good and interesting subject for a thread!

Over my entire existence, I would have to say Super Smash Bros. for N64 is definitely the game I spent most of my time playing. My friends would come over daily for a year or so and have tournaments. It was endless fun then

Bomberman 94. I have played for a year, and I have played it about 100 times for an average time span of 30 minutes, to an hour and a half. 

Hey!

Quite recently I've been devoting my time to playing GTA V and Skyrim. Both fantastic games. I'm not really impressed with the online in GTA V, although most are. I play them because I love exploring and finding things both in present and in the past San Andreas and Skyrim . To be fully honest, I don't spend too much time on them, probably an hour or two after school then I do homework and go outside and devote my time to that amazing server called 'Real Life' xD. I'm not really that tired of playing those games yet but I probably will soon enough.

I would go with Super Mario Sunshine. I have put countless hours into that game completing it.

Recently, the game I've spent the most time playing is Skyward Sword. I've played through the game a few times, getting the best items I possibly can each time. It's been works worth of play time in total.

Currently, it's Chrono Trigger and Earthbound. Both are RPGs, and because I'm not that great on them (I RESIST CHEATING), I'm only on 2300 AD on Chrono Trigger, and on Fourside, on Earthbound.

That would be either Pokémon Gold, Pokémon Emerald, Grand Theft Auto IV, or maybe even Kingdom Hearts II. It's easy to spend hours on an RPG, and Grand Theft Auto IV was just something I was madly addicted to.

Fallout New Vegas I played that game everyday I have like from what my main save says 6135.41.58 (6135 Hours 41 Minutes 58 Seconds my other saves have like 100,200,400 hours

The Deus Ex games always take up a lot of my time. I find them to be very engrossing. Also, I think I clocked in about 36 hours the first 2 days of getting Ocarina of Time 3D.

The game I have probably donated most of my time to is Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance 2. I play it over and over again considering there are five characters and four different levels of difficulty not that the levels get harder because I import my character and whichever one I am playing starts with maxed skills I slaughter all the enemies until midways or near the end again.
